Enemies Without Special Abilities Cannot Target This Unit[]
In the description, it says that "enemies without special abilities cannot target this unit". Does this ability mean Bioelectric Skin? Can any enemy in the single-player campaign detect mimetic-skin-cloaked units? I once had my scount sniper, who was camping behind cover, discovered by the aliens for some unknown reason. Was it a bug or was it because of the ability of an alien?

- For that effect, I have observed two EXALT Operatives quite deliberately lob grenades at a cloaked Covert Operative Sniper. I believe that stealth detection may refer to Multiplayer availability of Bioelectric Skin. - MA4585159 (talk)
Abilities that break stealth but don't alert enemies?[]
I've noticed that using Psi Panic breaks the stealth of Mimetic Skin but doesn't seem to "break up" a pack of enemies and alert them. With a pack of three enemies, for example, you can panic one and then still get a free kill with another nearby friendly, thus effectively giving you only one alerted mob to deal with.

Change In Price[]
Mid-way through a Classic Ironman game on PC I noticed the price of Mimetic Skin was raised to double what it originally was ($150 and 70 Meld). Was this changed in an update or part of the game mechanics, triggered due to some development (for me it happened around the time I got Ghost Armour and Psi abilities)?
